[Stack <st...@duboce.net>]

The third release in a series of "Development" releases [1], hbase-0.95.2 is
available for download from your favorite Apache mirror.  See:

  http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/hbase/

(It may take a few hours for the release to show up everywhere)

About 330 issues have been closed against this 0.95.2 since 0.95.1.

For the full list of issues fixed see:

(For a list of the fast approaching 2k issues fixed in 0.95, see [2] below).

Development series releases like this hbase-0.95.2, are "rough cuts" taken
from the branch that will eventually yield our next stable offering,
hbase-0.96.0,
the release that will replace the 0.94.x series. This third release is
shaping
up to be the last before we put out 0.96.0 because we are getting close
(think of if as 0.96.0-beta if you will). Please download this release and
try it
out; let us know what you think, what is missing, and what needs fixing
before
we can consider calling it stable.  Comments are welcome along any
dimension from packaging (in particular how we have packaged up what we
have published to maven) and layout through to UI and documentation.

Be aware that development series releases are barely-tested product and come
with no guarantees.  We make no promises that the next release in this
series
will be compatible with this one nor even that you will be able to
preserve data across the update (This is at an extreme, and highly unlikely,
but could be the case).  No work has been done to make it so you can migrate
from 0.94.x HBase.  Development series releases are not for production
deploy.

Thanks,
Your HBase Team
